What Causes Constricted Feeling In Esophagus While Eating Food?
Good morning, I am Janamohan from Tamilnadu. My age is 54. I have Diabetes for the past 6 months. While having my lunch (lunch time alone not during breakfast or dinner), I feel something blocking inside my food passage, and feel difficult to breathe.. Give me an answer why it is so.

Hello,
Blocking sensation may be due to esophagitis or gastritis or lower oesophagal sphincter spasm or nutcracker oesophagus etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Get it done upper GI endoscopy then consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
